I am sitting at the airport in Charlotte NC after leaving from Tampa, FL.  I have a few hours layover  until I am off to Columbus, OH to go to Chikuzen's RO Camp.  If you haven't been to a shakuhachi camp you should try and check it out.  Rarely do you get the opportunity to be around so many other people who love the shakuhachi.  You also get the opportunity to really drill on all the skills and techniques you need help with on a one on one basis.  I am going to find  a quiet corner here and practice.  I hope I see you at a camp soon!
